Shiites’ member faints on hearing news of Buhari’s return

The return of President Muhammadu Buhari after a 49-day medical vacation in Britain may not have pleased some members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, as a member of the group reportedly collapsed on hearing the news of his return.

According to online reports, a 58-year-old potato seller, Mallam Ibrahim, fainted at the popular Mararraban Jos, a few kilometres to Kawo, Kaduna State when he heard that the President has returned.

The leader of the group, also known as Shiites, Ibraheem El Zakzaky, has been in detention since 2015 and is reportedly going blind.
